The '''Lodhi Fort''' ({{lang-pa|ਪੁਰਾਣਾ ਕਿਲਾ|lit=Old Fort|translit=Purāṇā Kila}}) is a [[citadel]] in the city of [[Ludhiana]], [[Punjab, India]]. The fortress is located on the banks of the river [[Sutlej]] and contains a tunnel to leading to the neighboring town of [[Phillaur]]. It was built over 500 years ago during the reign of the [[Sikandar Lodi]] and was well-maintained under the reign of [[Ranjit Singh]] and the British after him, but then fell into disrepair. It was declared a state-protected monument in December 2013.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=MhrzDwAAQBAJ|title=Know Your State Punjab|date=2019-06-04|publisher=Arihant Publications India limited|isbn=978-93-131-6766-2|location=|pages=184|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|last=|first=|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oecSAQAAMAAJ|title=The City Skyline of India, 2006: Top 100 Cities to Reside, Earn & Invest in|date=2006|publisher=Indicus Analytics|isbn=978-81-8015-030-2|location=|pages=85|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=27 September 2014|first=Aditi|last=Gyanesh|title=Major monuments given a miss on Punjab tourism's website|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigarh/Major-monuments-given-a-miss-on-Punjab-tourisms-website/articleshow/43571742.cms|access-date=2021-02-12|website=The Times of India|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2019-12-31|title=Ripe with history, Ludhiana's Lodhi Fort lies forgotten without ASI protection|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/ludhiana/ripe-with-history-ludhianas-lodhi-fort-lies-forgotten-without-asi-protection-6192424/|access-date=2021-02-12|website=The Indian Express|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=जिस धरोहर ने दिया शहर को बड़ा नाम, आज वही ढूंढ रही खुद के निशां Ludhiana News|url=https://www.jagran.com/punjab/ludhiana-lodhi-fort-in-converting-to-ruins-to-careless-19576429.html|access-date=2021-02-12|website=Dainik Jagran|language=hi}}</ref>
